Another strong aftershock rattles Central California. A 5.3 aftershock shakes the Central Calfornia town of Parkfield.
I will give more details as they become available.
Boy Bush is one powerful man.
Is Parkfield on the SA fault, if you know?
When? Didn't feel anything here on the Central Coast.
It is right on top of the fault
right on!
"Boy Bush is one powerful man."
LOL, isn't he though. Look at what he's up to with Mount St. Helen's.
All quiet on the Cupertino front.
yep out in the middle of nowhere, all the buildings have never been rebuild after a big quake 20 or so yr ago
Yes, they have sesmographs all over the place in that area. In fact the USGS has an office in Parkfield, which has a population of 100 people (approx) and thousand of cattle.
I know, between causing the earthquakes, hurricanes and now causing Mount St. Helens to erupt, how does he have the time?*
*Only those on DU can explain.
PING!
About 15 minutes ago.
Felt it in Fresno. This one was a jolt. It scared me.
I didn't feel it, my Mom called me to aske if I felt it.
My house must be on very solid ground because I didn't even feel the big SF quake in 89.
Thank you for the graphics. I am html handicapped.
It looks like the epicenters are moving toward SF. This is not good.
That could certainly be Bush's fault too, depending on whom you ask ... some scientists speculate that the recent volcanic rumblings are the result of heavy rainfall seeping through the rocks in the lava dome and crater floor.

Not really. It's not uncommon for aftershocks to creep up or down the fault. This is pretty normal for the area, as that section of the fault relieves stresses. It's a long way from there to San Francisco.
